TOPIC: Blanket Order Contract Award for Water Meters and Related Miscellaneous
Supplies
AGENDA TITLE
Award a Blanket Order Contract to Aqua-Metric Sales Company for Water Meters and
Related Supplies in an Annual Amount Not to Exceed $500,000 (Specification No. 22-
131) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a blanket order contract to Aqua-Metric Sales Company for water meters and
supplies for an annual amount not to exceed $500,000, for a one-year term beginning
October 4, 2022 and expiring October 3, 2023, with four one-year renewal options,
subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division provides potable water to
approximately 46,000 customer accounts, which includes all of the City’s businesses,
institutions, and its approximately 310,000 residents. The proposed contract award will
provide City staff the ability to purchase Sensus USA water meters and associated
supplies. As new customer accounts are added or replacement meters are needed, City
crews need the ability to install hardware that is compatible with the automated metering
infrastructure (AMI) system currently being deployed.
Aqua-Metric Sales Company is the sole distributor for the Sensus USA products, parts
and services in the State of California. As a result, staff recommends Council approval of
the recommended action to award a blanket order contract to Aqua-Metric Sales
Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $375,000 are available in the current Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget
and will be budgeted in future years in the Water Meter Services, Machinery & Equipment
(Account No. 06017646-66400) as shown below.
